Let me add that I was told that a siddur that the BESHT used is in the
Chabad library in Crown Heights and it is Nusach Ashkenaz.
All you write is true but Sefard was the nusach with Lurianic kavanoth
Even kabbalistic people and groups like Reb Noson Adler of FFMand the
Broder kluiz used the sefatd nusach
While the Besht was alive chasidim were not organizationally a movement the
concept of tishen,Rebbe,yerusha zaddik were all not really fully developed
The Magid gave the movement some org uniformity and he AUTHORIZED RABBI
SCHNEUR ZALMAN TO EDIT A NEW PRAYER BOOK according to Sefard Lurianic
nusach and this was before RSZstarted Chabad,so Im not certain what your
driving at Sandz and other groups started in the mid 19th cen as as counter
reformation
Look at the sidurim of old groups like Stolin,Slonim Koidenov and you see
sefarad and many Galician Hu(ngarian rebbes like Munkatcher davened Ari
sefarad
In recent yrs even greater changes have been made to siddur ck out Lelever
and Bialer siddurim
Chechenov was to my knowledge the only group that davened Ashkenaz,
The time of the Magid is not a later period of chassidus

As I answered earlier, this is not a question that can be answered in
terms of "should". All a rav could tell them is that al pi torah
there's no reason to be upset, but it's a natural feeling that they need
not be ashamed of or try to suppress if that is what they genuinely
feel. A counsellor could help them explore what they actually feel, i.e.
whether they really have a problem with it or they just think they do.
And a rebbe could try to reassure them that nothing bad will result.

But it *isn't* pesichas peh. Nothing is being said to open the door to
unwanted circumstances. It's really a matter of a subconscious
perception by the parent that the child is too comfortable with the
prospect of being a yasom.

This is fairly put. The truth is that I did not read the cited Zohar.
I read an article posted by a member of this mailing list, who cited a
Zohar, and asserted that it supported the proposition that by using
the word "tsur" in Shirath Ha'azinu, Moshe was alluding to his sin.
Inasmuch as his sin (in Numbers 20:11) involved a sela`, not a tsur,
this caused great astonishment. If, however, it was not the Zohar
that failed to notice the distinction between "sela`" and "tsur", but,
rather, the member of this mailing list citing the Zohar who failed to
notice the distinction, then the astonishment disappears. Perhaps
that is what I should have assumed to begin with.

'so here would seem to be a case where there was unquestionably a chashash

that I shouldn't take them over yom kippur!!'
That's a situation which fits a fairly classic model of physical symptoms
and definable illness making you, presumably, a choleh in hilchos YK. So I
presume that had you felt that you had to eat for fear of becoming
dangerously ill then OC 618:1 would apply to you and you could have eaten
against medical opinion.
The problem is the non-classic cases as I mentioned, where the illness is not objectively definable. What happens to the category of choleh then?
Incidentally, I'm surprised to hear that you were told not to take antibiotics on YK since it's easily possible to do so without any issur of achila at all.

Subject: [Avodah] Taking Down a Succah During Chol Moed
From today's OU Kosher Halacha Yomis
Q. I will be going away for the last days of Sukkos, and I do not need my Sukkah anymore. Can I take it down on Chol Hamoed before I leave?
A. The Gemara (Sukkah 9a) derives from the verse (Vayikra 23:34) ?The Chag
of Sukkos shall be seven days for Hashem? that just as a Korban Chagiga
(alluded to by the word ?chag? which is seemingly superfluous) is
sanctified to Hashem, so too a Sukkah becomes sanctified to Hashem.
Shulchan Aruch (OC 638:1) writes that the s?chach and walls of a Sukkah may
not be used for any other purpose during the chag. For example, one may not
pull a splinter from the wood of the Sukkah to use as a toothpick. Even if
the Sukkah fell down, one may not benefit from the wood until after Sukkos.
It is not clear from Shulchan Aruch whether one may take down a Sukkah if
no one will benefit from it. Sefer Ikrei HaDat (OC 2:68) discusses this
question and concludes that taking down a Sukkah is ?bizui mitzvah?
(belittling of the mitzvah) and therefore it may only be taken down if
there is a special necessity. Shoel Umaishiv (4:3:28) also seems to imply
that this is not permitted. He writes that one
may not
even take s?chach off of one Sukkah to place on another. However, Rav
Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, zt?l (Minchas Shlomo II:54) and L?horos Noson
(7:47) both point out that there is a clear implication from Shulchan
Aruch (666:1) that one may take down a Sukkah, once it is no longer
needed. The Shulchan Aruch states that in Israel, on Hoshanah Rabba, once
the Sukkah is no longer needed, one may remove a large section of the
s?chach in order to permit sitting in the Sukkah on Shmini Atzeres and not
be concerned about ba?al tosif. Of course, one may not benefit from the
s?chach until after Sukkos. (Note, dismantling a Sukkah on Chol Hamoed
involves melacha. This would be permitted only for the sake of Yom Tov [if
the labor is non-skilled], or to avoid a loss.)

As is well known, in Eretz Yisroel only one day of Yom Tov is celebrated,
exactly as it is written in the Torah; while in Chutz La?aretz each day of
Yom Tov of the Shalosh Regalim has long since become a ?two-day Yom Tov?.

Israel for Yom Tov (quite commonly yeshiva bochurim) to do? What are the
guidelines and parameters to enable changing over to observe one day of Yom
